Reason and Intuition

6.5K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.3K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Inductive Reasoning

60.8K
Inductive reasoning is a form of logical thinking that uses related observations to arrive at a general conclusion. It is uncertain and operates in degrees to which the conclusions are credible. As such, inductive arguments can be weak or strong, rather than valid or invalid, and conclusions can be used to formulate testable, falsifiable hypotheses.
Inductive reasoning is common in descriptive science. A life scientist makes observations and records them. This data can be qualitative or...

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.3K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Attitudes

28.5K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Philosophy
  • Metaethics

Background:

  • Philosophical discourse often presumes public adherence to moral objectivism.
  • Prior psychological research suggested lay moral attitudes align with non-objectivism-leaning pluralism.
  • A gap exists in understanding implicit metaethical commitments, as studies focused on explicit cognitions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the implicit metaethical commitments of the general population.
  • To determine if unconscious attitudes towards morality align with objectivism or non-objectivism.
  • To address the limitations of previous research relying solely on explicit self-reporting.

Main Methods:

  • Development and application of a novel Implicit Association Test (IAT) tailored for metaethical attitudes.
  • Assessment of implicit biases related to moral objectivism versus non-objectivism.
  • Comparison of implicit findings with existing literature on explicit moral judgments.

Main Results:

  • The study found that individuals, on an implicit level, tend towards moral non-objectivism.
  • Results indicate a consistent pattern of non-objectivist leanings in unconscious metaethical attitudes.
  • The findings challenge the assumption of widespread implicit moral objectivism in the folk.

Conclusions:

  • The folk generally exhibit implicit moral non-objectivism, contrary to some philosophical assumptions.
  • The developed Implicit Association Test (IAT) provides a valuable tool for assessing implicit metaethical beliefs.
  • This research has significant implications for the ongoing philosophical debate on the nature of folk morality.
